We count every company that moves to Utah as a “win” for both the state and the company.

“As we continue our growth and increase our focus on operating efficiency and resiliency, it is clearly time for us to expand beyond our San Francisco headquarters,” said Scott Sanborn, CEO of LendingClub

Collective Health is modernizing the health insurance industry, and we could not be more excited that they have selected Utah to expand their operations,” said Val Hale, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development.

“We have built a partnership with the city of Ogden, Weber County and the State of Utah and are excited to announce the expansion of our operations,” said Bill Kirchner vice president & general manager of Amer Sports Americas.

“After a thorough search, we selected Eagle Mountain for a number of reasons—it provides good access to renewable energy, a strong talent pool, and a great set of partners." -- Rachel Peterson, VP of data center strategy at Facebook

Finding the Balance

Utahns work hard and play harder. There are 58 National Parks in the United States, and Utah is home to five of them. We like to call them the Mighty 5®.

Our mountains house 12 major ski resorts, which Ski and Powder magazines consistently rank among the best. They’re minutes, not hours, away from our cities and airports.

Speaking of cities, Utah is also home to the Sundance Film Festival, award-winning dining, and a thriving arts scene including theater, symphony, opera and ballet.

Neighbors San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Denver are just an hour and a half away via our own Delta hub.

Targeted Industries

As Forbes Best State for Business, the State of Utah enjoys a strong and diverse economy. Our success is due in part to aggressive support from state lawmakers to grow our targeted industries. With innovative programs to expand access to talent and capital, improve supply chain, share industry expertise, drive university research, and promote international trade, Utah is fertile ground for new business.

EDCUtah Founders

In 1987 five major Utah companies – Zions Bank, Wells Fargo, CenturyLink, Dominion and Rocky Mountain Power – founded the Economic Development Corporation of Utah. Over 30 years later, the ranks of our Founding members have grown but they continue to be the backbone of our leadership team.
